It’s like the candidates for SDGOP Chair can’t stop digging, as tonight we have a candidate for GOP Chair continuing the awful. Tonight’s installment recalls the forum held by the confederate coalition of counties from the other night. The group had sent out minutes of what took place. Except that Ex-Majority Leader and alleged “attempted converter” Lee Qualm didn’t care for the page or so summary, and felt the need to clarify the minutes that they recorded.
Of course, his “clarification” ended up being a complete rewrite, taking it from about 1 page or less to eleven. I won’t get into it too much, but there are some cringeworthy passages in there that are hard to ignore.. From SDGOP Chairman hopeful Lee Qualm, in his own words:
The Hispanic are becoming more a part…. I feel that as we talk about Hispanics and Blacks…. They are all Americans. We need to be inclusive and bring people in and stop distinguishing…. That is what causes racism by calling them Hispanic or calling them Black.
So, they weren’t part of the state before….? And racism is caused by referring to blacks and hispanics as black or hispanic.. which is why he’s referring to them as black and hispanic?
What do they say about giving someone enough rope?
(Can someone please enter the race so we have better choices? I don’t want to spend the next two years doing this.)
Uh…………………..
Too late. Lee’s the only option on the table.
Any candidate that will not pledge to support every elected Republican, from Thune on down, should be disqualified from running. It’s not that complicated.
So like the Mafia?
yes
Support the brand, not personal ambitions. Are these folks running to serve the party and its elected officials, or do they want to win to have the party serve them?
What next in being so bold will candidate for this political party Lee Qualm go beyond sex designation and just refer to them as humans or Earthlings? .
Darn! Knowing who Mr. Qualm and his associates are prone to conspiracies maybe we should leave Earthlings out! Otherwise they will be on another wild goose chase looking for Extraterrestrials and purging them from the party and state.
I was not a Wiik fan but he is looking better to me all the time.
I’m hearing that from more and more people right now.
everything is basically a variation of “i’m not racist, my hometown had swedes AND norwegians living peaceably, and no one hated non-whites because in theory we considered them fellow humans.”
the beat goes on.
but are we sure they are humans?
our next Lt Governor in 2026 will be the person who can convince the majority of delegates in the 66 counties to elect him into that position. I am thankful that the popular vote does not choose the Lt Governor. the voters choose delegates and committee people and those, 1,500 electors get to choose who best represents the majority of precincts. If you want to actively play your part, then you have to nominate and get yourself elected into that role. the Lt Gov should be someone who is independent from the governor for just reasons.
And why do you think the LG should be independent? They are elected as a team by the voters.
